2. I will still make you suffer,and your people will crywhen I make an altar of you.
3. I will surround you and prepareto attack from all sides.
4. From deep in the earth,you will call out for helpwith only a faint whisper.
5. Then your cruel enemieswill suddenly be swept awaylike dust in a storm.
6. I, the Lord All-Powerful,will come to your rescuewith a thundering earthquakeand a fiery whirlwind.
7. Every brutal nationthat attacks Jerusalemand makes it sufferwill disappear like a dreamwhen night is over.
8. Those nations that attackMount Zionwill suffer from hungerand thirst.They will dream of food and drinkbut wake up weary and hungryand thirsty as ever.
9. Be shocked and stunned,you prophets!Refuse to see.Get drunk and stagger,but not from wine.
10. The Lord has made you drowsy;he put you into a deep sleepand covered your head.
